will produce, second (and often the
second is of far more importance than
the frst) the annual appreciation in
value of his land. This is an import
ant consideration-this annual advance
in the value of real estate. IF man
should buy one hundred and sixty
acres in Barton county tomorrow for
81 800 he will have a farm on which
he can raise as much wheat and corn
as on the same number of acres in any
of the eastern states, and he will also
find that his land is increasing annns
ally in value fully twenty per cent.
At the end of five years he will have
whatever he has made by diligence
and industry in cultivating his level
acres and besides that he will find that
his farm has doubled in value. We
think the oft quoted advice of Horace
Greely is still good. Young man, go

A Washington special says: Some
thing Of sensation was created yes
terday when Sergeant-at>Arms Lee
dom received an order from Comptrol
Ter Durham, of the treasury, ordering
him to withhold the salaries of Con-
gressmen Curtin, of Pennsylvania.
and Wade, of Missouri. alleging that
they were indebted to the government
on accounts not settled. In the ease
of Curtin, he is charged with owing
the government 1884, 433 on unsettled
accounts while minister to Russia.
Curtin claims that he does not owe one
cent of the claim, that this state of
affairs is shown because of the poor
system of keeping the accounts at the
treasury; says he has not been given
proper credit. In Wade's case, he
claims positively the same thing. His
settled accounts grows out Of his con-
nsction with the Thirty first Ohio
regiment during the war, as first
lieutenant. He was detailed by an
officer of MS regiments to act as dis
bursting Offices, when the department
here had no knowledge of his assign
ment. He WAS charged with supplies
which were all disbursed under orders,
but the treasury in making up the
account was not possession of the fact
that be was the temporary disbursing
officer. A few years ago, when q like
attempt was made to stop the payment
of the salary of Ex-Congressman Och
iltree, it was decided that the pay of
congressman could not be thus with

ably by thinking over Kansas needs
some positive legislation and the

THE Editor of the DEMOCRAT after
alternating four weeks in "Old. Ken
euck" came in last Sunday night, feel
ing more than eyer that Kansas is
goodly spot and place good enough
for man to live and die in. He is
not wanting in appreciation of the
many and signal merits of the Blue
Grass state, with her bright homes
and hospitable, generous people He
feels just and parjonable pride that
Kentucky has given SO many illustri-
Gus names to adorn the pages of Amer
lean history-such names as Clay,
Crittenden and Breckenridge among
the dead. and Carlisle, Beck and Wat
terson' among the living. Certainly
no Kentuckian has cause to blush
when the history of his state is COM
pared with any other. But after all
Kansas offers inducements that Ken
lucky can not She pays a higher
premium on brains and Drawn because
she can afford it. She has thousands
of acres of land. as rich as can be found
anywhere that have never yet been
snbiugated by the plow-share. The
liberal policy of both the state and the
national government has been to offer
rare inducements to those who will
come here and help to reclaim these
fertile prairies. Kansas can therefore
offer cheap homes, thing Kentucky
can not do. This insures a constant
and ever-increasing stream of immi-
grafton until every foot is taken and
every tract of 100 acres has a farm
house on it. The farmer has a double
source of revenue, fret what his land

WE hope that 1887 will be more
memorable year in the history of the
progress of Kansas than its predecess-
or, and we believe that such will be
the case. The vast multitude that
came here last year viii be great ad-
vertising medium to the state. Their
kindred and friends will hear what
good has fallen TO their lot and will
come to this land that flows with milk
and honey. 1t may be that this year
will not see SO many phenomenal
towns, each one the Wonder of the
Plains" or the Metropolis of the
Vest" spring Up, but, what is. of far
greater import, we believe more acres
will be plowed, more farm houses
built and larger crops planted than
ever before. The towns will be all
right if we can only get all the fertile
acres in cultivation. If it were not
for the sturdy sons of toll all our
booms would soon boom out and our
towns would soon put on saskcloth
and ashes What we want now most
of all is more farmers, and then all the
rest viii be added unto us.

IL France the patched-up Goblet
ministry still holds together, and the
talk in governing circles is ofwar. AT
his New Years reception Mr.. Goblet,
in response to the expression ofa hope
for peace by some brokers, said that
while nobody knows of any thing that
iustifes anxiety, France was ready and
need not fear war The army is in
fighting mood, andthe expectation is
general that war must shortly come
The only people who comprehe nd that
France, like every other country, has
a great deal to fear from war are the
Socialists, who represent those who
must become targets for the enemy's
cannon. Antidi Boyer, Socialist
deputy, intends to offer proposal for
the general disarming of Europe at the
next session Of the chamber. Socialist
representatives in the German Reich
stag will make similar proposals, but
no one supposes that such efforts will
have any effect. The trade Of whole
sale murder will continue to flourish in
Europe until the masses of the people
have the intelligence to understand
what it means for them, and have also
the power to put an end to it. Mean
while Paris, that is, the Paris repre-
sented by theleading newspapers is
gay as ever, thoughtless and careless
of the humble homes to which war
brings desolation and woe. -New York
